The paper identifies an effective broad-spectrum inhibitor of archaeal nitrification through soil-based structure-activity relationship analysis.

This study shows vascular trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P) regulates root growth systemically and locally by modulating metabolite allocation between shoots and roots.

The paper introduces smoppix, a nonparametric method for analyzing single-molecule spatial omics data, identifying localization patterns across tissues and cells.

The paper identifies conserved transcriptional reprogramming in nematode-infected root cells across Arabidopsis and rice, revealing a key regulator involved in nematode resistance.

This study shows maternal tissue controls apical-basal patterning in kelp embryos through cell wall signals, with detachment disrupting development and increasing parthenogenesis.

The paper develops high-throughput screening assays to identify new nitrification inhibitors, discovering goitrin as a biological nitrification inhibitor.
